Music Teachers Dear Mr. Labes, …I am moved by your work. I find myself following the piano on most of Van Morrison albums and realizing it’s you who has been guiding me through. Thank you for such pleasure. You are the reason I listen to It’s Too Late to Stop Now on repeat. AnitaM I am a 38 year old music teacher. I have played piano in bands for my entire life … I have tried for a few years now to find a way to learn your solos because you and Johnnie johnson are my favorite piano players…I just found your Irocku website and I do not know if I have been this excited for a long time. So just wanted to say THANK YOU and I can’t believe that I finally get to figure out what you were doing on Jessica!! JenB Today was one of the best professional development workshops I’ve ever attended. I’m still “there” and probably won’t be able to think of anything else for quite a while… The workshop was magical in every respect, and Chuck, besides being rock royalty, is just the nicest, most humble person anyone could imagine! No airs…no attitude….just a warm, engaging and brilliant musical giant. Talk about letting talent speak for itself!! I can never thank you(IROCKU) enough for bringing him to meet our NYC music teachers. They’ll never forget it, and neither will I. Barbara Murray- Director or Music, NYC DOE I am enjoying the lessons. I found the site because I have a 15 year old student who wanted to play “Shine a Light” and she is a beginner, so this is perfect. She is on level 2 and I am plugging away at 6 and 7. I really like your emphasis on rhythm and counting and I think the approach is very pragmatic and doable for the average person , not just the few elite players. SusanaF
